We are continuing to work on a Windows 10 rewrite of Code Writer with a fresh new user interface. Follow @CodeWriterApp on Twitter to see screenshots and give feedback.
v2.6 updated to a newer analytics service version.

Code Writer

Code Writer is a free text and code editor app with active syntax highlighting that updates as you edit documents and has over 20 supported file types. A tabbed document interface allows for quickly switching between open documents.
The app has been built from the ground up with Windows 8 design principles in mind. It's fast and fluid, and gives you the power to edit documents with features you'd normally only find in desktop apps. Code Writer is perfect for editing any text-based file, doing code reviews, or giving presentations with code samples.
The core text editor screen allows you to edit documents in full-screen mode without chrome distractions. Only the scrollbars and line/column display are visible by default. Find/replace and advanced features like tabify lines and convert case are available.
Easily create new or open existing documents from any accessible source. Color is used pervasively throughout the app to create a bond between you and the various file types you work with.
Configure the editor theme and other options such as font size to mold your ideal editing environment. Learn about every product feature with the included detailed documentation.
The app functions in snapped view, allowing you to work side-by-side with other apps, and is fully supported on ARM, x86, and x64 devices.
IF YOU LIKE THIS FREE APP, PLEASE SUPPORT ITS CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT WITH GOOD RATINGS. We have many plans for further improvements but want to hear your suggestions too. It is most helpful if you post your own ideas for app features in our support forum (instead of or in addition to reviews in the Store) so that we can communicate directly with you. Sometimes we may need more information about the feature request and by posting in our forums, we can get that from you. Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated. Happy coding!
Follow us on Twitter with @CodeWriterApp.
You can even chat directly with our dev team via Slack (http://www.actiprosoftware.com/community/chat) to help guide future Code Writer features!

It is a very good editor but very slow to open up.... I have only this problem with it

I wasn't even looking for something to write code. I just needed a very simple, distraction free word processor with support for dark background to write notes, email drafts, blog articles. Code Writer works great for my purposes. Would love if they added pin files to start.

While searching for an app that would open .wri files this was a recommended app. This app DOES NOT open these files. I am disappointed in this program as I have old files that I would like to convert.

First off, this app rocks.
One thing I really would like is to be able to have a split view, like sublime text or notepad++. It really speeds up development.
I'm not sure if you can make two instances of this app, but that would be one way to emulate that functionality too.

I was looking around for an app that was very efficient and appealing to the eye and I came across this. It is a great app for beginner or veteran programmers.
